I only give it a 4 star rating because I reserved an accessible room with 2 beds and upon check in, he gave us an accessible room with 1 queen bed. He did, however, get us moved to another room right away. It was a smoking, non accessible room, but I didn't have to share a bedroom with my 25y/o son, so I was ok with it. It was clean and the beds were so comfy! It was definitely better than the Quality Inn and Suites! And the food was actually there and it was good. Made for a nicer stay for sure!.

Beautiful rooms, awesome breakfast, swimming pool and laundry facilities. Maybe not the best location, but OK. And only ever had any issues either one of the staff.

The room was nice and clean. The employee at the front desk was very polite and knowledgeable. The free breakfast that they have in the mornings was tasty. I recommend

The staff here are super nice, there was an error in my reservation that they worked with me to correct. The room was clean, smelled nice! The free breakfast was a standard but I guess they change the main options and today was biscuits and gravy. I would return here.

I was greeted right when I walked in the door. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was good. The writing on the air conditioner is worn off so you had to guess what you were doing, but got it after a minute or two. Shower was hot and wate pressure was nice. Door lock was having issues, but got it when pushing the door in. There should be a plug in by the desk, but I just pulled out the TV stand and used the power strip. Bed was very comfortable. Check out was quick! I would recommend this place.
